Table Resource
The Table resource is similar to the Dataset resource. Table references
contain an extra field, tableId , which uniquely identifies it within the
dataset. Instead of an ACL, the primary distinguishing feature of a Table
resource is a schema, which describes the format of each row in the table.
Finally, there are some additional statistics fields, such as row and byte
counts ( numRows and numBytes , respectively). Tables also may have an
expiration time (the expirationTime field), which is a way to create tables
that are automatically deleted when they expire. The interesting fields of the
Table resource are described in Table 5.7 .
